Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the rechargeable reading lamp that provides bright light anywhere without requiring proximity to a power outlet. An internal rechargeable battery powers the lamp for up to 10 hours after a 10-hour charge via the included AC adapter. The lamp has 48 LEDs that cast bright white illumination without the glare and distortion produced by an incandescent bulb’s yellowish glow. A flexible gooseneck can be raised, lowered, or twisted for optimal positioning over a book, computer screen, or crafts. The lamp has a brass-plated base, pole, and shade, and a dimmer dial provides smooth transitions between light levels. LEDs last up to 50,000 hours. 10" Diam x 53" H. (13 lbs.)

The light is all right. A little tall which did not seem necessary since it is adjustable. Because it is tall it leans in, making it unattractive to look at.Was disappointed that it had to remain plugged in because it does not work otherwise. It had been charged to specifications, the light turned on for a few minutes and then turned off.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

The poles would not screw into the base of the lamp until we removed the base and adjusted the bolt on the bottom. Even after doing this, when the poles were screwed in tightly, the lamp still wobbles and does not stand up straight.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

We now have a reading light by a chair in the middle of the room where there is no electrical outlet. We were going to have an outlet installed in the floor in the middle of the room, and that would have limited furniture placement forever. Now we still have flexibility with furniture placement and light to read by.

I bought this lamp for my husband as a reading lamp. He loves it because the light does not cast a glare on what is being read. I would not recommend this lamp if you are looking for something that will light up a room. If it is the only light on in a dark room, it appears to be rather dim and has a strange glow to it. At first, I had doubts that this lamp was going to be suitable but after trying it, it really is a perfect reading light. It holds a charge for a long time as we have had the lamp for a couple of weeks and have only charged it the one time when we set it up. That is with using it approximately 3 hours/day. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that evidently the bulb cannot be replaced. However, the instructions say that you will get approximately 50,000 hours of burn time so we will see.

Our living room is so open. Where we do not have access to a plug by each couch or chair. With the battery floor lamp, we can move it around and light is just right for reading shiny magazines and treading a sewing needle.
